Brees claims he’s been buying jewelry from Moradi for years — and has dropped roughly $15 MILLION on some insane pieces … including watches, earrings and rings.

Problem is … Brees claims he recently had his jewelry independently appraised and was told his collection is worth $9 MILLION less than he paid.

…

Brees claims the biggest hit he took was on a 4.09 carat blue diamond ring he bought in 2015 for $8.18 million … which recently appraised for only $3.75 million.

Yeah, it’s pretty hard for me to feel bad for Brees here. It’s very difficult for me to shed a ton of tears. Who is advising Brees and thought dropping $15 million on jewelry was a smart idea? The man has made nearly $200 million in his career. After taxes, agent fees and union dues, Brees has maybe netted around $100 million in his career. It could even be a little less. The amount of money he has reportedly spent on jewelry represents a huge chunk of his career earnings. Not exactly very business savvy from our favorite New Orleans Saints gunslinger.

This is why athletes go broke at a shocking rate. They buy stuff they don’t need, and then are shocked that they’re burning through money. He spent $15 million on jewelry! Nobody, and I mean nobody, should be dropping that kind of cash on diamonds. I don’t care if you’ve got billions in the bank.

Buy real estate or invest in something. Buy a bunch of guns. Anything would be better than dropping more money than most people make in their lives on jewelry.
